Introduction

This course is designed to provide a solid understanding of the practical methods used in Reservoir Engineering for maximizing the ultimate hydrocarbon recovery. This course covers all aspects related to Reservoir Engineering during all reservoir life cycle, starting from the primary recovery and up to enhanced oil recovery. This course will address not only the conventional applications of Reservoir Engineering but also extends to include the topics of Reservoir Simulation Engineering. In order to support participants by a wide knowledge, special topics are included such as using conventional Reservoir Engineering techniques to identify new infill opportunities, coning control with smart horizontal wells, Fracture Reservoir Simulation and enhanced oil recovery modeling.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
